in for the first part of the exercises of unveil-
ing the Garfield statue The main hall was

part in the parade. On the platform sat the
speakers OF the occasion, the city boaris and
the city cifici als, while in the galleries and
filling the auditorium crowded throngs of
people After an overture Rabbi Ben jimin

Hewitt S. J. Randall, Ex President Hayes
and John Sherman.
The Grafton was delivered by Judge Ezra
B. Taylor, of Warren, Ohio, who iii the course
OF his address said:
The life Of Garfield was so simple, so direct,
and open that every one feels conscious of pos
capacity, and 50 much has been said OF him that
little can be added without repetition, and yet the
rich mine of his nature has not been fully ex-

WASHINGTON CITY, Dec Accommodating
on the dispatch from Chicago to the effect
that DIR. Kempster, the insanity expert, had
shown reporter nuggets of gold, which were
taken from a mine near this city, owned by
the doctor, The Critic says: at has been
known for years that the country around
about the District contained gold. Numer-
GUS specimens have been found from time to
time, but mining experts have all declared
that the finds would not justify any at
tempts at mining. Some time ago DR..
Kempster discovered some of these
specimens while roaming through the
country above Great Falls After con-
sultation with several frinds it was de-
cided to purchase large tract of the
country, including the spot where the gold
was found The statement that works have
been in operation since last May Is wholly
false. Nothing has yet been done. No one,
not even DIR. Kempster, yet knows how
much gold is to be found there. There is an
old story so old as to be almost a legend,
that there are mines of fabulous wealth in
that vicinity, but no one has any definite in
formation about the matter"
